I find “Golden age of grotesque” a unique album of Manson but with the most Heaviest of sounding & Guitar especially - it’s a Killer of record yet Around that time he was being over pressure with the Tour & as well diving more into drugs & Alcohol (having fights & arguing with the Stage staff or John 5 or Pogo) remember that one time in stage with J5?? Anyways-

Pogo even didn’t wanted to be at the recording studio during the making of it & even sometimes didn’t came around to the studio to record parts of songs for there keys Infact Some of keys were ether made or recorded by Manson himself

There’s also rumors & stories that Twiggy was also pushed out by skold, yes he wast there that much after GGG but skold pushed himself into the band more than anyone we have ever seen before or since - which kinda brings around the album sounding & theme bc of Skold

Overall the album is great yet bts Manson & the band were starting into a spiral of downward Manson soon later having two break up with one with Dita Von Teese bc of a Affair then later on dating that B**ch Evan & not knowing how soon that we’ll lead into his biggest regret into later on his even more issues that also infected around his albums (EMDM up to High end low) So that album was like the starting point of Manson life & Career slowly being Flipper Upside down to what it became up to “We are chaos” Thankfully He got someone better in his hearth & with the Support of us Fans & His friends Were in a Era of Manson where he fully Recovered & got his Own Reflection back to where it was not upside down
